MSM did not really push this one too hard on front pages but when Obama was in Silicone Valley couple days ago, Intel announced it is going to start building their 3rd plant in Chandler AZ starting this fall. The 5 billion dollar plant will use 2000 construction workers in the next 2 years and employ over 1,000 full time workers.
Now why was this so low key? Arizona is a right to work state, and almost all those jobs will be NON UNION.
Ask yourself why the Midwest union state govs are trying to take away all their restrictions and regulations with unions at the present time? This is not rocket science.

I worked in Chandler for several years at another Semiconductor besides Intel. (Guess which one.) Is that where you are? I'm glad the Phoenix area is getting some boost to their devastated economy.

there is not one foreign car plant in a non right to work state that I k now of...the UAW says they are going to take another run at unionizing them anyway, good luck on that, they have never made anything but one slim in road into Toyota I think, because Toyota got browbeat by the gov....

Using this logic, the U.S should try to emulate China since they get the most jobs of anyone.

and one other point, this big meeting he had with the silicon valley 'bus.' people...well, out of 12 he had, he had I think 4 real bus. folks there, who run a bus. with a supply chain and manufacturing etc...........

In short, a giant plant sparks an entire region. JUST LIKE the big BMW plant basically rose the Greenville-Spartanburg region of SC's economy like a rising tide. Greenville went from a stagnant town in upstate SC to now the states most populated county, fastest growing city, and one of the cities that is above water and actually building parks and running a balanced budget.

Attracting big business works. South Carolina has figured that out. So yes, Boeing got a big tax deal. And all their employees are gonna be spending their money in Charleston, SC instead of Seattle, WA. How do the small business owners of Seattle feel about that?

I suppose you would rather stick to ideology, however, and NOT offer the tax break and just see Boeing go elsewhere? WHO wins in that scenario?
